Peanut Butter Cookie Cupcakes (yes, cupcakes)

posted by Lori Lange

I’ve been making a lot of cupcakes this year, and I’ve ogled at cupcake bakeries in various cities & tried their most exotic flavors. I’ve woken up having dreamt of new cupcake recipes, scrambling for a pen and paper to write down my ideas before they’re lost. My obsession with cupcakes of late has now turned to cookie cupcakes. Yep, it’s cookie dough tucked into a cupcake wrapper, but frosted like a cupcake. Why not? This means, of course, that you get much more bang for your buck… a bunch more cookie all stuffed into a cupcake tin. This is good stuff: Peanut Butter Cookie Cupcakes.
These bake up just like peanut butter cookies. The cracks on the top… those are fine because you’re going to top them with peanut butter FROSTING!
A peanut buttery frosting is smoothed on top of each “cupcake.” Then you use a powdered sugared fork to criss cross the top (gotta give it that peanut-butter-cookie look).
These were delicious, but you pretty much have to be a peanut butter lover to love these. Top them with chocolate frosting instead if you wish to create that fabulous combination
